if we can keep this amazing form up then why not ?

we've shown this season we match anybody and we are winning most games convincingly too.

NB has done a superb job in turning average performing players into guys who give 110% and want to win every game - they are prepared to put their bodies on the line every week unlike teams in the past.

its all good at the Giants right now and i am loving it

well as a Saints fan you would know all about dirty and underhand tactics.

the difference is that other teams are now catching up with you. Not there yet but soon will be.

Like who? Do you seriously think other teams are catching us up? Look at the quality we have comming through and the calibre of players we can attract. Teams like hudds still have years to go before they will consistently challenge the likes of us.

I always thought the Giants were underachieving with Jon Sharp at the helm, they haven't had a major overhaul of players but they are doing the small, technical things really well (line speed, turtiling etc) which is making all the difference.

Whether or not they can sustain it for the season remains to be seen,

beware giants fans, cabman posted a similar thread two seasons ago when warrington put over 60points at caravan park, look what happened to them

You have a good memory number 6. Okay i hold my hands up i got warrington badly wrong, (many people did get warrington wrong!!). However i feel huddersfield are the team to watch. Take it from me. Get down the bookies and place your bets. I expect big winnings on this one.

I don't think so. They will be competitive against nearly everyone but I expect Leeds will turn them over quite comfortably at the weekend.

Well it's all about form, we will all dip yes even Hudds but it's when, where and how you handle it that will tell. It's far to early to predict just yet but clearly being top four is better than bottom four so it's a start!

I must admit, I like the look of lawrence.

They have started well but there is a long way to go and it would be beter to judge them in a few months time. Teams move up and down the table quite easily/quickly at this itme of the season.

if he was playing for saints,wigan or leeds the media would be suffering from sore right hands!cracking prospect

also not forgetting the likes of cudjoe,lunt,patrick,walsh who have all had first team action this year along with raleigh,jackson,crabtree who came through our academy ranks and mcnally and mcgillvaray on laon at whitehaven and batley respectively then the future really does look bright ( or claret+gold)
